Editor, Williams Intelligence Summary

Williams described himself as a former director of counterintelligence activities in the Army Air Forces. However, Williams’ intelligence work was in Weather and Air Intelligence not Counter-Intelligence. Per Williams in 4/51 issue of WIS: “In 1942 he organized, trained, and directed on the largest Counter Intelligence investigative staff sections in the Army Air Forces…” but a Major in the Military Intelligence Reserve stated that no counter-intelligence force existed until 1944.

Newark 105-1910, #346 which is 2/16/59 memo from SAC Los Angeles to J. Edgar Hoover in the Newark file on Christian Educational Association reports that: “Williams claims to have vast experience in the intelligence field dealing with the communist menace.  However, pertinent records reflect he was associated in a limited capacity with Air Force Intelligence during World War II.  Material printed by Williams is often reprinted in ‘hate’ publications such as ‘Common Sense’.”

1947 pub, ADL and Its Use In The World Communist Offensive

1950 pub: Know Your Enemy  [6/56 = 10^th printing, 10,000 copies]

Self-described as “Counter-intelligence information for Governors, Mayors, police personnel, for political and military strategists” and  “for citizens interested in preventing sabotage and revolution.”  Pedro A. Del Valle recommends it in brief introductory comment on front page. 

In his “statement of policy” Williams observes:  “This publication attacks no man because of his race but it spares no subverter because of his race.  The publisher believes that those basic carriers of Communism and political Zionism who attempt to hide behind the Jewish religion must be mercilessly exposed, both to discourage them and to make the American citizen understand the nature of the subversive attack against this nation, its institutions, and its people.  The publisher urges the Jews of America to repudiate their vicious leaders and embrace Americanism thereby preventing the tragic race conflict fomented by the revolutionists.”

In the “preface to tenth edition” Williams claims that in 1942  he was the head of the “Intelligence Staff section for the Training Center No. 4 of the Army Air Forces at Miami Beach Fla” where he “trained and directed one of the largest Counterintelligence investigative staffs in the AAF.  Later he became executive officer for the Intelligence and Public Relations section, Headquarters, Miami Beach Schools.  In this assignment he trained and directed the combined and expanded intelligence section over the various Miami Beach Air Installations.”

Chapter titles of “Know Your Enemy” include:

#2 = Bolshevism Was Jewish [with captions “Jewish Bankers Financed Reds”; and  “Communism From The Talmud”]

#3 = “Russia Still Under Jewish Influence”

#4 = “ADL – Secret Government of the United States”
